Thackeray family needs ‘Art of Living’ course: Ravi Shankar

Taking a pot shot at the Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for their campaign against non-Maharashtrians in Maharashtra, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Thursday said that Bal Thackeray and his family are in need of the Art of Living course to soothe their nerves.

“I think the Shiv Sena and the MNS should take some rest and follow the Art of Living regime to calm themselves,” Shankar told reporters here.

“India’s strength lies in unity in diversity and this cannot be put at stake because of such insignificant issues,” he added, referring to the cases of violence against migrants in Maharashtra by the two parties.

Art of Living foundation at Sri Sri Ravishankar’s ashram in Bangalore organises innovative yoga and meditation courses to help people overcome stress, resolve conflicts, overcome health problems such as sleeping disorder, migranes, back problems and enhance quality of life.
